For their final challenge, they will each create a pair of knights, one representing life and one representing death that will have to withstand the trials of battle. The Season 7 finale of Face Off airs Tuesday, October 28 at 9PM ET/PT on Syfy.

My 8 year old son (who is on the autistic spectrum) is obsessed with this show! He has the whole family watching it now (grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins). We have them recorded and he watches them over and over. For Christmas he only asked for a make-up kit like they use on Face-Off. He also went dressed as Tic – Tock Tannenbaum for Halloween. When he talks about the show he lights up with excitement. We can’t wait for the new season to start.
I LOVE this program. It should have an infinite run!
There’s more talent per hour than you’ ll see anywhere else
on TV.
Nobody said anything about who won. You just read it wrong it said champion Cig and it named the other two. Not that he was the champion, or won Fave off season 7.
I am so looking forward to season 8. I just love this show it is one of my favorites. And if I am not going to be home I have to DVR it. And I will watch the show through at least twice. Because I always miss something. Please keep this show on the air for a while longer. It just thrills me to my toes. Thank you for such a wonderful show.
Ok, I read the comment first so I didn’t see who won… and I sure hope it was DINA. Her work was always amazing…. And if she didn’t win, she was robbed!
you moron you just told us who won this season, Thanks a lot!!! you even mention that the season was still on going in the beginning of the article so why ruin it for people who are still watching it.
Thanks for your sweet comment but I reposted the press release. I have no idea who won this season.
